Hanna, T H

This book reviews knowledge on the field instruments available for the monitoring of foundation and ground behavior. The basic quantities to be measured are reviewed giving particular attention to basic theory, principles of measurement and recording, and techniques of overcoming error. The book includes sections on longevity and reliability of sensors, errors and falsification measurement. The book provides a review of the theory and practice of instrumentation in Geomechanics and brings together basic theory and instrumentation practice to show how field research studies may be performed.
